There are other technical dictionaries on the market, but virtually all of them hold significant drawbacks. They may be large and unwieldy, exorbitantly priced, full of cumbersome cross-references, or lacking sufficient and accessible detail. Eliminating these drawbacks, CRC Press introduces its Dictionary of Analysis, Calculus, and Differential Equations - the first published volume in the CRC Comprehensive Dictionary of Mathematics. From Abel's Continuity Theorem to Zygmund Class, top experts from around the world present more than 2,500 detailed definitions, written in a clear, readable style, and including alternative definitions and related references.

Endovascular embolization therapy has made remarkable progress during the past two decades, driven primarily by improvements in digital imaging, breakthroughs in microcatheter technology and coil design, and the development of new embolic materials. Initially employed in the management of musculoskeletal trauma, embolization therapy now has a wide range of applications. It permits effective non-operative management of major hepatic, splenic, and renal injuries that once posed a tremendous challenge to the trauma surgeon and has also become an integral facet of the modern oncology center. Further important indications include uterine fibroids, vascular malformations, visceral aneurysms and GI bleeding. This volume and volume 2 present the current state of the art in this exciting and growing field. High informational content is supplemented by detailed graphics, providing a comprehensive reference work for both experts and novices in the field.

Increasing success of arthroplasty of joints like the hip and knee along with concerns about the long-term outcomes of ankle arthrodesis has renewed interest in ankle arthroplasty. The new implants have been designed with attention to reproducing normal ankle anatomy, joint kinematics, ligament stability, and mechanical alignment.

Polyvinylacetate and vinyl acetate-acrylic copolymer lattices are very important in adhesives, paint, binders for non-wovens, paper and textile additive industries, and many related industries; their production is growing steadily both in actual quantities and different applications. The book is written primarily as an introduction for researchers and as a guide to anyone who wishes to use it in applied work. Throughout the book, considerable attention is devoted to experimental aspects and as such should also serve as a useful reference source.

Highlighting new instrumentation and experimental techniques-including high-throughput experimentation and combinatorial approaches-that are being employed to observe chemical reactions and molecular properties at the nanoscale, leading scientists from a diverse range of fields reveal new insights into the surface chemistry of catalysts and the reaction mechanisms that actually occur during catalysis. From fundamental concepts to future directions, Surface and Nanomolecular Catalysis offers a well-rounded compilation of noteworthy developments which will continue to expand and transform our understanding of catalysis, particularly in the context of clean energy and environmental applications such as fuel cells.
